When should you choose a private office over a hot desk?
Choose a private office when your team needs a lockable room, a fixed address and space that stays yours overnight. Choose a hot desk when headcount is fluid or you are in the building only a few days a week.
The rough rule around Old Street: once you have three or more people in most days, a small private suite usually costs less per head than the equivalent number of dedicated desks — and it comes with a door you can close for calls.
How far in advance should you book?
Less far than you would think. Serviced offices are furnished and wired, so a signed team can often move in within a week. The constraint is availability of the exact suite size you want, not fit-out time.
If a specific building matters to you, enquire two to four weeks ahead. If you are flexible on address, the Old Street cluster is deep enough that something suitable is almost always available now.
What is Old Street best for?
Old Street is best for technology, product and creative companies that want to be inside London’s original startup cluster. The area around Silicon Roundabout still concentrates founders, engineers and investors within a few streets.
Transport is the other draw. Old Street station puts you on the Northern line, with Moorgate, Bank and King’s Cross all a short ride away.
You can plan the commute on the Transport for London Underground network.
Registering a company at the address is straightforward too, with guidance on GOV.UK business support.
